Wahoo! I was really excited about the 70s decade, because it seems like a fun one. In the month of August SquareHue’s mini-collection is inspired by disco balls, political conspiracies, and the technology of the future. Scroll down to find out the details!
HOW IT WORKS: For $14.99/month + Shipping & Handling, SquareHue subscribers receive a limited edition collection of 3 carefully curated season-appropriate nail polish colors. Alternatively, the company recently launched a 2-polish box variation that costs $10.99/month + Shipping & Handling. Each month has a distinct personality to suit a variety of dress needs. Quick drying “5-Free” Clean formula does not contain Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP, Camphor or Formaldehyde Resin. Click here to subscribe.
The first polish is named after perhaps one of the most famous political events in recent history – Watergate 1973. This midnight blue microglitter is actually a multichrome that shifts from teal to purple to blue, depending on the angle. The formula was quite sheer, and I could see the tip of my nail peeking through even after three coats, but the polish goes on so smoothly and evenly, it actually looks really cool.
The second polish is named after Apple – iPolish 1976! This signature warm white high gloss creme is the perfect color to represent the company with their futuristic-minimalistic designs. The coverage is highly opaque and the formula is easy to work with, because unlike most white polishes it doesn’t leave unsightly streaks.
The last color is actually a glitter topper called Night Fever 1977, and it’s a disco ball in a bottle! It contains holographic particles of assorted shapes and sizes that create a really fun effect on the nails. So far I wore it alone and as a topper, and I actually really like the way it pairs with lighter cremes. Honestly, the pictures don’t do it justice – it’s much more impressive in real life when all those shimmers sparkle in the light.
I made a video to show the complexity of both Night Fever and Watergate, but as you can probably tell, I’m really not so great at making these 🙂 I know that vertical videos are annoying to watch, but these were originally on Snapchat and I never thought they’d make it to YouTube. On the plus side, looks like my phone makes pretty decent quality videos, so maybe I’ll film something in the future!
THE VERDICT: I think this was a fantastic collection! It’s very versatile and I can see myself wearing these colors with lots of different outfits and looks. I can’t pick a favorite this time, because I loved all three!

Good colors for this decade! I love Night Glitter 1977 and Watergate 1973. I’d probably add orange to the list because it was a big color during that decade.
I’m sure they’d add an orange if the collection had four colors. In fact, I’m surprised it wasn’t in the trio, because even I associate the 70s with orange and glittery disco balls.
Can’t talk about the 70’s without disco! yasss! Love that disco ball. Do the hustle!
Haha, yassss! Discoball everything, everywhere 🙂
Great colors. The white and the silver glitter are my faves.
That white looks so sophisticated on the nails, I’m glad to see it’s trendy again.
The 70’s is probably my favorite decade since I was a teen then. Lovely colors!
Glad to hear that! I can’t wait for the 90s and 00s collections, since those were my teen years 🙂
I bought Square Hue for quite a while but I ended up with too many polishes I didn’t like so I stopped. I loved the quality though.
The quality is certainly on-point, and comparable to my favorite Zoyas. I like that they’re cruelty-free, too.
Night Fever is gorgeous, it is almost too pretty to use hehe
It looks really pretty in the sun.
I love your last picture. These are so gorgeous!
Thank you! I am loving these too 🙂
LOVE that glitter!!
Right? The sparkle is out of this world!
I am all about that glitter… love love it.
It’s beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice.
